Poesy

Epitaph. Another, on the Same.

Under this marble, or under this sill,Or under this turf, or e'en what they will;Whatever an heir, or a friend in his stead,Or any good creature shall lay o'er my head,Lies one who ne'er cared, and still cares not a pinWhat they said, or may say, of the mortal within:But who, living and dying, serene still and free,Trusts in God, that as well as he was, he shall be.
